Get involved

We're always looking for volunteers to help us with the work we do in North Devon. If you'd like to try something new, get outdoors, learn new skills and lend a hand to a great cause, then volunteering could be for you.

Accessibility

Overview

Gateway to a wild, remote coast with a rich history of wrecking and smuggling. Amazing walking, wildlife and sunbathing seals.

Why not start your visit with a look in our Heritage Centre to find out more about this dramatic section of coastline. Then take a walk to Morte Point where you will find breathtaking views, crashing waves and the distinctive headland rock formations. You can then continue along the coast path to Bull Point and the lighthouse, passing Rockham Bay and its sandy beach. Or you can access Bull Point along a quiet lane from the village.

Once you’ve finished your walk, why not join us for a cream tea in our Heritage Centre or visit one of the many other tea rooms and pubs in the village for some refreshments (non-National Trust).

From Barnstaple take the B3230 towards Woolacombe. At Mullacott Cross continue straight ahead. Bear right onto Mortehoe Station road (still the B3230). Follow this into Mortehoe. Car park is on the left hand side as you enter the village.

What is Gift Aid?

Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points. Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:

Gift Aid Admission or

Standard admission

If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you the Gift Aid Admission prices. But it's entirely up to you which ticket you choose. If you want the Standard Admission instead, just let us know when you come to pay.

Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* — an extra 25 per cent — potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.

An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below: Payment of the additional percentage donation is entirely voluntary, so if you prefer to pay the standard admission please advise our reception staff at the till point.
